2011 Heart of Green Awards

I want to tell you about a website, the Daily Green www.Dailygreen.com. It is a daily web paper billed as the ‘consumer’s guide to the green revolution’. You can vote on their website for the “2011 Heart of Green Awards”. Here’s the list of categories:

Each category has a list of nominees. The reason for the nominee’s nomination is explained. I’ve learned a lot and I haven’t finished reading everything or voting. There is an option for ‘Other’ in all categories, so this is an opportunity to get ecoetsians better known. How else would they know about krugsecologic’s Botanical Face Serum? Or greenspring’s Eczema Body Butter, purabella’s soaps, or skindeep’s citronella lotion stick?

On a different note, I am pleased to report that the store where I work has actually enacted one of the green ideas that I suggested! There is now a recycling bin in the break room for aluminum cans. A small victory, perhaps, but a victory none the less. A new manager started this week, so I may have to suggest the others again.
